FRM-238 Non-Penetrating Flat Roof Antenna Mount with 2.38 in. OD x 5 ft. Mast

3 Star Inc 3S-FRM-238 Non-Penetrating Flat Roof Antenna Mount with 2.38 in. OD x 5 ft. Mast
Made in the USA!
A 2.375 inch OD Mast Pipe Diameter is ideal for HughesNet, DirecWAY, StarBand Satellite Dish and Microwave Antenna Mounting. This 5 foot height mast is Medium Duty, Commercial Grade for Midweight Commercial Installations. A 30 inch height is recommended for higher wind and weight loads. Commercial installs of Larger Dish style antennas on Commercial Properties would do well to install a tether such as the SCK150 (also available from 3 Star Inc).
Non-Penetrating Roof Mounts can be utilized within various weight restrictions depending on the Structural Composition of your flat roof, and when set up on a Rubber Mat or Pad, will protect surfaces such as Shingle and Tar, Pea gravel, Membrane and bare concrete without puncturing or marring and help distribute the weight evenly.
Ideal for Light Off-Air TV and Wireless Internet Antenna mounting, is constructed of pre-galvanized 12 Gauge steel, uses 8 standard concrete blocks as Ballast on a 35.5" x 35.5" Base Frame. Pre-Galvanized Mast pipe.

This Pre-Galvanized Finished Non-penetrating Roof Mount Base allows you to install DBS, TV Antenna and WiFi Internet systems on flat roofs where no holes can be drilled. The heavy steel base is 35.5" square. Pre-Galvanized Finished (thick) Steel Mast is 2.375 inches in Outside Diameter and 60 inches in Height from Base. Perfect for use with DirecWAY and StarBand systems. Can be Used as a Penetrating Mount without Ballast when Field Drilled to use optional Pitch Pad Kit. Compares to Other Name Brand Hardware at Half the Price. Optional FRMMAT ( Mat ) and FRMPAD ( PAD ) available

Height and Antenna Loading capability are dependent upon ballast weight. You need to Consult an Engineer to determine the Load Bearing Capability of the roof that you are entertaining such an Installation. It is Important to choose a Mount and Mounting Location with a Picture of the Finished Installation in Mind. Be Sure to First select a location that lends itself to applying a Load without Compromising the Integrity of the Material you affix to. Most Decorative Finishes most often do not have the Strength to Hold a Weight or Pressure without fail. Further, Think about what's underneath the exterior. Is it stronger, or will it yield to Pressure over time also? Weather Proof the Installation to Maintain the Integrity of your Home. Next consider the Location over a Lifetime of Adjustments, does it lend itself to modifications in Height or Direction? Larger Antennas increase the surface area presented to air movement, Hence, Wind-load does increase. As the length of the mast increases from Its last attached point on the structure, the torque applied in cantilever also increases with Weight and Wind-Load, requiring a more substantive attachment and Load-Bearing material. Keep the Distance Minimal from the Antenna to the TV's and Equipment you feed, as to minimize loss and the need for Amplification.
